To be clear, I was responding about the bitch in the video, and was not calling anyone here a bitch... That said...
They offer dozens of different types of plates, and there are fees for these specialized plates. The state in now way "supports another country" with this-- the people who buy the plates do, and that's not even it, because the money stays here and goes to a volunteer EMS organization. The extra charge goes on to the groups supported, much in the same way it does for plates that support wildlife or indians..
It's a nothingburger.
I ran across a great example of why to not post a link or a headline without at least reading the article first.
What's the "staggering" number? Thousands, tens of thousands? No, it's 245 during a 6-month period. (I'd consider that staggeringly low).
And why do they do this? "Americans' growing fear of many of Trump's aggressive policies surrounding immigration, healthcare, and LGBTQ+ rights."
That's what they say to promote their agenda. I say it merely represents deranged liberals.

Here's another good one:
"Trump has discovered a simple trick: If he doesn’t like the number, he changes it."
To get the complete humor of this article you have to read it. It argues over and over that until Trump was in office, all the numbers that came out of the government were factual, without agenda, and never falsified.
"Reality doesn’t bend to satisfy a wannabe tyrant’s ego. A poll stacked with supporters doesn’t reflect real public opinion, and unemployed workers don’t just disappear because you fudged the data."
"If he wants favorable ratings, he’ll choose pollsters who will deliver the answer he’s looking for. The number may look correct, but the methodology behind it is rigged."
And here I thought those examples were straight out of the dems playbook, but all of a sudden Trump invented them.

Looking forward to Sept labor numbers. By most accounts it’s bad. We’ll see
